Reader's Advisory

"I need a Good Mystery to Read." "Can you suggest
a Romance Author?" "Do you have any books that are similar to.....
?"
These are all questions I get on a weekly, if not daily, basis. I've
worked in a library for almost 18 years. I started on July 25, 1995. This is
the only job I've ever had. I know these statements are unheard of
in this day and age but when you find a job that you love to do, it's too good
to give up.
I've found several sites over the years to help me with suggestions to all my
family, friends, coworkers and patrons.

"The right book in the right hands at the right time can
change the world."

"[They] are the
world’s largest site for readers and book recommendations. Our mission is to
help people find and share books they love."Feel free to look me up www.goodreads.com/lbrychic.

Stopyourekillingme.com: (taken from their page) "a website to die for.... if you love
mysteries. A resource for lovers of mystery, crime, thriller, spy, and suspense
books. They list over 4,100 authors, with chronological lists of their books
(over 47,000 titles), both series (4,800+) and non-series.

Gnooks.com (Literature-Map.com):

the gnod engine.

ReadGeek.com:
a great site... once you rate about 10 titles, the
site offer suggestions and predictions of other titles you might like.

I know there are a few more that I just
can't think of right now. I'll just have to add to this or post again
another time.
